THE MAN NG TMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, January 22, 1890. PATRONIZE HOME. Some people think that anything bought away from home is better and cheaper than if bought at home. Others have a dislike of buying at home, simply because they think it looks and sounds bigger to have it said that they buy everything ofT. Others, and they are very few, buy away from home, because they actu ally find it cheaper to do so. This last class is very small. It pays to buy at home and to pat ronize home industries. The home merchant makes his profit it is true, we expect him to do so, but even with his profit, if he is the right kind of a business man, he can afford to sell the goods almost as cheap as they can be bought abroad, make a fair profit for himself, and yet we shall pay but a fraction more than if we had bought away from home. Our merchants are a great convenience, and we ought to-take that into consideration. They invest their money, and must have a profit on it. They keep on hand many things that we could not well send off for, in fact the merchant is a necessity in every neighborhood. But the merchant must, of course, keep in reason in his profits. If he makes too great profits, some ways and means must be enforced to bring him within reason. This is the po sition of the Farmers' Alliance. They claim, and with reason, too, that the merchant has taken advantage of their necessities, and overcharged them and ground them down to the earth. But is the merchant altogeth er to blame in this matter? Does he not know that there are men, who, if they canwill swindle him? Isitnota weU known fact that a great many men in the State, yes, in Clarendon county, who will not pay, if they can avoid it ? We venthre the assertion that any and every merebant in the county can produce a list of such dead beats. We have been in the 'county of Clarendon for a little more than seven years, and.we have in our affice a list of about four hundred Quh men. Some of them "stand well" too, but not with us, or with any other business house who has ev er trusted them. Now these losses from bad men must be made good by good men. The honest men must pay the losses. (We use the word ~onest advisedly. Any man, who, pyhsdebts, is, in our opinmon, a dishonest man.) Speaking from per isnlexperience we have quit the c'redit business now, and have made some money since we did so. We can now afford to have Grand Gift westibutons and yet make money, but e culdnot when we were losing 7money on dead beat subscribers. As it is with us, so it is with every bins.Stop credit, and prices will 99 down. One of the best aims of the Alli -4nce, the noblest aim, is to get men to ~pytheir debts, to teach them to be hnest No Alliance man is true to his obligation, who fails in this re apect. Let this one purpose be ac complished; let the standard of soci >ety be soraised that any man who l--efrauds his neighbor will be ostra cised, and prices will go down. We t believe the Alliance the greatest boon 2yet for the farmer and laborer, and if this present year's work will show ~thatzno Alliance man will swindle his neighbor or creditor; or if he does so, that the Alliance will at once purge themselves of him, credit, HoNEST cED~ without liens, trusting to a man's word of honor, will be the or der of the day, and love, harmony, Sand prosperity will prevail. This is the end we desire to see accomplished, and we believe this end will be accom plished. Clubs, unions, associations, and all such have a tendency of bringing men together, of making thiem feel more interested in each other, of en forcing the idea that all men are mu tually interdependent, of helping each 2onue to understarnd his neighbor, of ~drawing men closer together, and this -alliance of farmers will be of great good. But we have digressed from what we started to write about. Show the -preference to the home merchant, and keep as much money at home as pos sible, if by allowing him a reasonable profit we can do so. If, however, the merchant charges ~too great a profit, tell him you can do better, and buy elsewhere. We believe our home merchants will do as well as any oth -ers, but there is a test, and every man with the cash can make that test.. Many items have from time to time jbeen published in the newspapers about the evil effect of cigarette smok ing. James A. Byrnes, a 20-year-old grandson of a wealthy gentleman of Terre Haute, Ind., smoked cigarettes until he completely lost his mind and in a fit of despondency, shot himself in the brain, falling over dead. He ahJd frequently been advised to give up cigarette smoking, and his friends thought he had done so. Cigarette Clarendon County Farmers' Alliance Directory. We desire to publish a complete directory of the Farmers' Alliance, State, county, and sub. We have only a few of the sub-alliances complete, but if these alliances not fully report ed will give us the name of their bus iness agent and regular time of meet ing, we will complete the directory. We propose publishing this directory regularly, and ask that the secretary of each alliance will see to it that any change in the officers or time of meet ing is promptly reported to us. Next week, we shall publish a more mplete directory, including the offi cers of the State Alliance. PRESIDENT-James E. Tindal, Paeksville. SECRETAfY-Dan'l .. Bradham, Manning. O;.tNizEu---Dan'1 J.

Bass, editor and proprietor, after a year's existence, has suspended. One paper is enough in a county like Williams burg. The extreme length of the city of Chicago is twenty-four miles, its ex treme width is ten miles, its area is one hundred and seventy-four miles, and its estimated population is 1,100,000. A sure enough "race war" will take place soon. It will be between Jack son, the Australian negro, and John L. Sullivan. The problem will be de cided in California under Marquis of Queensbury rules. Modern political economy: License the bar-rooms and beer-halls that make vice and pauperism, and then tax the people to support the penal and charitable institutions that are crowded by the victims. Yououccannt permanently elevate the moral condition of any people, of r ecency and comfort in the houses in which they live. Let phil anthropists think of this. The Atlanta Constitution says the population of that city, according to the now complete returns in the city directory office, is over 87,000, against 77,677 last year, and 37,000 in 1880. This remarkable growth in population causes the Conitut~eion to indulge in big expectations, and it predicts that in 1900 Atlanta will have a population of 200,000. Our Charleston Advertisers. There are a great many of our people Who prefer trading in Charleston, and by refer ence to onr advertising columns they will find the advertisements of the leading bus iness houses in that city. And, by the wray, it would be doing us a favor if When dealing with one of these houses, our readers would mention the fact that they saw the adver tisement in THE MAmnG TIES. Otto F. Wieters is one of the largest and most popular grocery houses in the city. He does an immense wholesale business, and is in every way reliable. He does a large business in Clarendon county, but would not object to increasing his trade with our merchants and large planters. And fertilizers must be bought. The At lantic Phosphate Company is an old house, with a high and well merited reputation, and one that has received a large Clarendon patronage. They of course wish to hold il they have gamned, and to add more. Then jewelry, silver ware, and all such are in demand, either for presents or for home use. Stephen Thomas, Jr., & Bro., are well known in this county, both person ally and as a reliable business firm. They have a large and beautiful stock of goods, such as will suit any taste or style. Every family needs medicines, and some families use so much that they buy at wholesale. Dr. H. Baer is probably the best drug house in Charleston to deal with. He wants the trade of our country mer chants and druggfsts. McGahan, Brown, & Evans have one of the largest wholesale establishments for dry goods, notions, boots, shoes, clothing, etc., in the South, The house is well known and popular, and does a very large business. M. Drake & Son are wholesale dealers in boots, shoes, and trunks. The house is well established, and noted for its fair deal ings with customers. David Bcntschner is the popular one price King street clothier. A large stock of every thing needed by a gentleman in making up his toilet. The Pavilion Hotel, E. T. Gaillard pro Iprietor, is well known throughout the State, and especially in Clarendon. There are persons in this conoty who never stop at any other hotel when in Charleston. This is high praise, and showvs with what care and attention the comfort of the guests are looked after. Clarendon is largely a manufacturing county, and that long established and reli, able house, the Charleston Iron Works is well worthy of the patronage of our peCo pe. They manufacture, sell, or repair, and guarantee promptness and dispatch. . A great many houses now being built in this county, and a home building and loan association that will probably be organized this week, ne'essarily create a demand for doors, sash, b1.nds, etc. Wetherhorn & Fischer are large manufactarers in this line, and will take pleasure in quoting prices. They fill orders promptly and carefully. [Extract from Minutes S. C. Conference.] Rev. Abraham Nettles. Died, November 6th, 1889, after a illness of ten days. He was bor near Summerville, S. C., June 4t1 1808, joined the South Carolina An nual Conference at its forty-niut' session in Columbia, February, *183t He leaves a wife and four grown ciii dren, three of whom reside in Cla endon county, and one in Texas. A i older brother survives, and only a fei weeks ago a sister died, aged eighty seven years. Fifty-four years hav passed since lie connected himsel with the South Carolina Annual Cor ference, embracing two years in tb local ranks. For thirty-nine years h was in the active work, but increasin debility made it necessary for him t occupy a superannuated relation fo the last thirteen years of his life. Though not educated in a technict sense, his logical mind was well train ed. His special intellectual strengt appeared in the force with which hi conducted an argument. He was master of Methodist the ology and vindicated it through man, a hard fought campaign. His min< was clear as a sun-beam, and his boi abode in strength. He never ramble< or scattered in his discourses, but wit] a point in view he reached it, wit the accuracy of an accomplishe< archer. When he began his ministry, fifty four years ago, Methodism in thi! State was weak, poor, misunderstood and scattered. The South Carolint Conference embraced Souti Carolina Georgi;i, Florida, and a large part North Carolina. There were few i. any stations, and her circuits werz large and laboiious;, many of then numbering from twenty-four to twen ty-eight appointments. It needed jus such a warrior to lead her hosts tc battle and to victory. His was the mind, heart, and education for the times, and his success was marked. In the home circle all looked to him as the principal. He was kind, ten der, and loving. The writer was often with him ii his last illness. His faith was strong in God, and the nearer he approached the final crisis the more confiding, earnest, and confident were his words and his last utterances were not thosE of the vanquished, but of the victor, and with his faith reposing in God, he fell asleep. HRsny M. MOOD. *The forty-ninth session of the S. C. Con. ference was held in Columbia, S. C., Feb 1835, and therefore Mr. Nctles was a mit-w ber of the Conference fifty-five years, in stead of lift--four.-EDIToi Ti!ras. A Call for a Suniyl School Conventiou. SPTanmac , S. C., Jan. 19, 189o. To the Sunday-school Workers of the Stat of Soutl Carolina. D::.M UnJr;n::N: -The Interdenmoina tional Sundav-school Convention of Soutl Carolina is hereby called to meet in the citi of Columbia at 8 o'clock the evening of th< th day of March, 1890. An attractive program, with speakers rep resenting all sections a-id denominations o the State, is being prepared and will be an nouneed through the press in a few weeksL Arrangements for special excursion rate: will be made with railroads and publisher in time fcr the information of all concerned In the seve-ral counties where no interde nominational associations are organized, th denominational associations, unions, or con ferences are'earne-stly solicited through thei proper oflicers to authorize and appoin suitable delegates to represent thema in thi Interdenominational Sunday-school Cot vention. Or, where no organization exist, the pastors and superintendents of individ ual churches and schools arc cordially it vited to attend themselves or appoint rer resentatives. Every person attending is as sared of a warm reception and is pr;.misei a profitable occasion. Every county organization, whether de nominational or not, is urged to prepar and send up to this meetingz full statistics c the numbers, conditions, and prospectso the Sunday-school work in their rcspectiv counties or districts. Any facts regardin: this great department of Christs Church i this State will be gratefully received. Mr. William Reynolds, of Illinois, Presi dent of the International Sunday-schoc Convention, wvho has been in attendanc upon the last two South Carolina Annut Conventions, and who, by his active partic ipation, added so much to the success an pleasure of said meetings, will be presen at Columbia, and will probably bring othe prominent workers of national and interna tional prominence with him. Besides, a many as possible of the leading and mos prominent Sunday-school workers in thi State will be in attendance; and altogethe the most successful, the livest, and mos largely attended Sunday-school Conventiot in this State for years, is romised. Nothin in the way of effrort will be spared by th< executive committee and the local commit tees to make this the 1:est convention eve: hld in the State. Let every friend of the Sunday-scho: cause offer fervent and constant prayer t< the Father above that His special blessing may be upon this meeting, and that its de liberations may result in the upbuildin, and extending of His kingdom in thi State, and in the salvation of thousands c the precious children of our land. Every pastor and superintendent in th State is requested to re-ad this call to hi congregation and his school at least one before the muecting of the convention at Cc lumbia. Fraternally, Cris. H.
